In the distant horizon, a small black dot swiftly approached, growing larger and larger in the field of view, transforming into a colossal object in the blink of an eye.
The massive object was nearly ten meters thick with a diameter of at least fifty or sixty meters, resembling a giant black flying saucer from afar.
If that's not a Firepower Flying Disc, what is it?
Soon, the Firepower Flying Disc slowed down, hovered above the Safe House, and then gradually descended, placing the large crate from the Strong Magnetic Hook at the door of the Safe House.
Zhao Jiayan, struggling with exhaustion, crawled out of her small compartment, stepped out of the Safe House, and stared in disbelief at the giant object above.
"This... this is the flying disc I repaired? Why is it so big?"
She was bewildered, doubting if she had truly woken up.
She clearly remembered that the Firepower Flying Disc she repaired was only two meters in diameter.
Compared to the giant object above, they were not the same 'species,' right?
"Big? This is just the beginning."
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Since we aim to destroy the Drought Fiend, we definitely need a big guy, and now this thing is not big enough; it has to be further 'enhanced.'
Zhao Jiayan opened her mouth, gazing up at the sixty-meter-diameter monster above, momentarily speechless.
She realized she might have completely underestimated the potential of Yang Yuan's abilities.
Yang Yuan approached the large crate, took it off of the Strong Magnetic Hook, and controlled the Firepower Flying Disc to ascend and hide in the stone forest afar.
"Yiyi, come over to help and move some of these items to your little room."
He took out the bullets separately from the crate and then poured all the cooling devices onto the ground.
Each cooling device was the size of a fist, square like a Rubik's cube.
But when ten thousand were piled together, it still looked like a lot, forming a small mountain at the entrance of the Safe House.
"Okay." Jiang Yiyi hurried out to move the items.
"I should help too, what should I do?" Zhao Jiayan asked.
"Are you still sleepy?" Yang Yuan asked, "You look quite exhausted."
Zhao Jiayan shook her head: "Just a headache, a bit weak, nothing else."
"Then also move some to your room and disassemble them inside, I need to modify."
Yang Yuan thought that he might formally call himself a modification master.
Anything, as long as there is structure and parts, when reassembled by him, will have upgraded data.
Disassembling in the Safe House was partly because it was within the cooling device's radiation range, and partly to accumulate experience for the Safe House.
"Alright."
As she moved the cooling devices, Zhao Jiayan curiously asked, "Where did you get so many cooling devices?"
Yang Yuan: "Traded with the main troop, while you slept, I killed a powerful Exotic Beast and traded its corpse."
Zhao Jiayan realized, and asked no more.
"By the way, are you hungry? I left some blood from the Exotic Beast, and it contains very powerful energy. An ordinary person can be satisfied while sipping a little. The blood can last us more than ten days, plus the jerky, no worry about food for half a month, but prioritize drinking the Exotic Beast Blood since it contains strong energy that may enhance abilities. I'll also solve the water issue soon," Yang Yuan said.
The first cooling device's experience was definitely sufficient now.
As long as his personal level rises, that cooling device can be upgraded again.
Of course, it only applies to that cooling device; those acquired later, he did not plan to upgrade; he could discard them after gaining experience, maybe keep a few as standby.
"I will drink when I'm hungry, I'm not hungry now. Didn't you give me that blood? I'm still full," Zhao Jiayan praised.
"That's good, now, even later, we won't lack food; food doesn't need to be saved anymore." Yang Yuan said confidently.
Now he could easily hunt prey, even if there wasn't any nearby, he could use the Firepower Flying Disc to search distant prey.
"Ow..."
Suddenly Zhao Jiayan withdrew her arm in shock: "It's so hot outside!"
Because she was moving the cooling devices, her hand accidentally left the cooling device's radiation range and was directly burned, somewhat red.
Yang Yuan glanced at the temperature display in the virtual view of the Power Armor and found it already reached eighty degrees, feeling a heaviness in his heart, said, "Try not to leave the cooling device's radiation range, I'll enhance the cooling device shortly to expand our activity range."
The sky had just started to brighten, and it was already so hot, would it reach a hundred degrees by afternoon?
In this environment, can normal biological life survive?
Wearing Power Armor was alright, it could somewhat isolate the outside high temperature.
But Zhao Jiayan was different.
"Okay."
Zhao Jiayan, taking advantage of the faint morning light, looked at the twisted air in the distance, looking worried.
Seventy to eighty Celsius temperatures could almost cook a person, in the literal sense of cooking.
In such an environment, how could ordinary people live?
She couldn't help but secretly be grateful that Yang Yuan had the ability to enhance or magically modify items, producing a miraculous cooling device.
Otherwise, she would either be working endless shifts without rest in a safe zone or be exposed in the wilderness.
How could she, like now, hide within a cooling device's radiation range enjoying 'air conditioning'?
However, even enjoying 'air conditioning,' because the outside temperature was excessively high, the temperature here was still approaching forty degrees.
Only within one meter of the cooling device, the temperature still maintained fifteen to twenty degrees, but that range was too small.
Soon, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi moved more than a thousand cooling devices into their small compartments and began disassembling.
The disassembled parts were directly thrown into the hallway, where Yang Yuan sat and began the assembly.
The reassembled cooling device was thrown into the big crate, separated from the unassembled ones.
Because there was already quite a bit of experience, in ten minutes he had enough experience to upgrade.
Eager to upgrade the cooling device, he didn't wait, directly elevating his level.
The next moment, physique and strength were enhanced, even mental strength improved, with nerve reaction also significantly heightened.
[LV.8: 0/128]
His personal level finally enhanced again.
Yang Yuan immediately took out the seventh-level cooling device from the water bag.
[Cooling Device LV.7: 2694/640 (Upgradeable)]
After nearly two days and nights, the cooling device's experience nearly reached three thousand.
He immediately upgraded the cooling device with a single thought.
Soon, the upgrade succeeded, and the cooling device resembling a cube showed little change beyond becoming more refined.
[Cooling Device LV.8: 2025/1280 (Imbued temperature regulation patterns, functions when placed in water, can lower the temperature within a six-point-four-meter radius, minimum fifteen degrees, the closer to the cooling device the better the cooling, susceptible to environmental impacts; non-upgradeable)]
Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi sensed the temperature change and were slightly pleased.
Though the minimum temperature of the eighth-level cooling device remained unchanged, potentially due to the increased radiation range and greater buffering, the temperature within the radiation range also moderately declined, becoming slightly cooler than before.
Yang Yuan placed the eighth-level cooling device back, starting to seriously accumulate personal experience.
From now on, he's ready to take off!
